AvicBot on SqWiki/SqQuote
Hello, Avicennasis! I'm an admin at SqWiki and SqQuote. I usually deal with automated edits and technical stuff in general (since I have I-Admin privileges on those sites) and I stumbled upon your bot's existence. Is your bot still active in general? Does it help in our communities? I saw that his last contributions in SqWiki is in 2015 even though we don't have a lot of double redirects. I don't know if another global bot now does the job or something else has happened because I don't think anyone from our community has taken the time to fix the double redirects by hand all these years. - Klein Muçi (talk) 14:58, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
